"Late next year, there will be a new object in the night sky nearly 10 times brighter than the full moon. This temporary attraction, called C/2012 S1, is a comet that has likely never passed through our inner solar system before, so it's larger and more reflective than those our sun has already blasted."

"My religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. ... That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave." - General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson

I sent this to Dr. Astro a couple of hours ago...hopefully he will shed some light as this comet does not seem to follow the Kreutz Group trajectory and looks to be coming on plane with Earth.

Looks like, it's headed strait for us and is considerable larger than Earth. Is that video sped up for dramatic purpose or is it actually moving like a bat out of hell?

WTF!?!? are you serious or kidding? I looked at the stuff posted but like others said cant figure out what the hell I'm looking at that could be a block of cheese for all I'm concerned. I really hope you are joking :-/

Let's hope it's not a block of cheese. At those impact speeds, it will surely be burned. If it were velveeta though, we could wake up in the morning with rivers of chip-dipping gooeyness! As a bonus, if you leave your tomato plants out, we have cheese salsa!

Too far out to get here by Dec. 21st of this year, i think it is a comet that they already know about that is supposed to whip around the sun first week of march 2013. Be in our neighborhood in a couple of months though.

How far away from the device taking the photos is this object?Closer objects would appear larger.

That's some Astro-math right there. I couldn't figure that out if I tried.

I have an idea...but not being formally taught, I'll wait for the experts.

I have had a few jack and coke's tonight, so my math was taking a ruler lining it up with the comets tail to see its trajectory,on the computer monitor, and it according to that, remind you I been drinking, it will miss earth.
